THE TUR WAY<br />

The International Standards Organization has defined eco-fashions as, “Identifying the general environmental performance of a<br />

product within a product group based on its whole life-cycle in order to contribute to improvements in key environmental measures<br />

and to support sustainable consumption patterns.”<br />

Today, the majority of clothing is made from low quality fabrics resulting in disposable wardrobes. TUR wants to rewind and go back to<br />

a time where garments were created to last and styles were timeless. We have chosen fabrics that are not only of the best quality, but<br />

are combined with the latest eco-friendly technology. TUR understands that fabric choice is not the only aspect of making a green<br />

garment. Each step of the clothing production process carries the potential for an environmental impact. As a sustainable fashion<br />

company, it is our responsibility to tell the consumer where our clothing comes from. At TUR, we have closely examined and<br />

researched our fabrics and manufacturers, to ensure that our customer receives the highest quality possible. Our manufacturers are<br />

also redesigning their processes and products to reduce their environmental impact. They are reducing energy usage and replacing<br />

fossil fuels with renewable and alternative energy resources when possible. By reducing water usage, waste and emissions volumes,<br />

and reclaiming and recycling materials that would otherwise be disposed of, we are giving them a new purpose.<br />

After much research, we came to the conclusion that the four best fabrics to incorporate in our line are 100% organic Bamboo, 100%<br />

Organic Linen, Lyocell and Recycled Polyester, manufactured by Pratibha Syntex in India and Chenfeng Apparel Co. in China. Turn the<br />
